How You Treat Your Ex – by Zodiac Sign

How do you think about your ex? What do you really feel about them? What will you do when you see them again? Find out what your zodiac sign reveals about how you treat your ex.

Aries March 21 – April 19

It’s their fault. It always is. After all who wouldn’t see you as a great catch, Aries? They just didn’t get you, did they? Anyway, you are ready to move on, so open Tinder and swipe right. But wait a moment… can you give just a little time to work out where it went wrong? Perhaps your ex was right about some of the things they said? You don’t really care about what they think though, and if you met them again, you’d probably smirk and walk away. Their loss. Oh, well, never mind, onward and upward. So many possible dates; so little time, you’d better get started.

Taurus April 20 – May 20

If they instigated the break-up, you’ll be devastated. It’s the end of everything, and you really don’t know how you are going to cope without them. Two weeks later and you’ve practically forgotten about them. You got bored with thinking about your ex, and are, in your indomitable way, moving on. Should you meet your ex while out and about, you’ll be pleasant enough, but there’s no going back. They merely become another chapter in the story of you. If you broke up with them, then your kindly nature won’t allow you to hold a grudge, and anyway you are too busy buying the new season’s fashions to worry about it.

Gemini May 21 – June 20

You can’t actually believe they dumped you. Why would they? So you fill your life with the next exciting thing, but you can’t help thinking that you can turn on the charm and get your ex back. If you are successful, you take great pleasure in dumping them in due course. Karma, you say. After a traumatic break-up, once you have lived through all the turmoil and wrung as much drama from the situation as possible, you are ready to reinvent yourself again.

Cancer June 21 – July 22

Your heart is broken. You only want your ex back in your life. Nothing else matters. You spend hours stalking them on Facebook, you pull up old messages on your phone and analyze them for clues, you can’t help mentioning their name in conversations – with anyone, from the cashier at the local store to the weird lady with the pug. When you meet your ex, you let them know by any means that you are up for a re-run. Watch out, you’re beginning to look needy.

Leo July 23 – August 22

You act like you don’t care, because you can’t work out how you ever fell for someone so unworthy of your attention in the first place. How could they not see that you are literally the best catch on the planet? But, hey, you don’t care, you’re better than that. Now, quick, think of something to fill the void. What spectacular persona will you strut today? What amazing, incomparable photo can you Insta right now? Ha! They’ll soon realize what they are missing.

Virgo August 23 – September 22

You are the master (or mistress) of cold, hard analysis. Virgo needs to know in detail what went wrong. You know, of course, that it was their fault, their problem, but nevertheless, it’s good to have the data. It’s also good to know precisely how to exact revenge if ever the occasion arose. Not that you’d ever want to completely destroy their life or anything like that. Gosh, no. It’s just a shame that it’s so hard to meet anyone new that matches up to your high standards.

Libra September 23 – October 22

They dumped you. It’s rarely the other way around with Libra. However bad it got, you just hung in there because they needed you. You gave them your support, your undivided attention. When they called, you dropped everything to be there for them. Then they were gone. Never mind, you got the dog. And all your mutual friends, because they know, you are just the nicest person. Even when you run into your ex, you are sweet and pleasant. Even if, deep inside, you want to kill them by throttling their pretty throat. Smile.

Scorpio October 23 – November 21

There’s only one doing the dumping around here and it’s not them, is it, Scorpio? They wouldn’t dare. And, hells, if they did, you’ll make sure their life isn’t worth living. There’s nothing worse than a Scorpio scorned. If there’s one zodiac sign that could be called a ‘psycho ex’, you’re it. You want to trash their whole existence. Make everyone see just what a stupid, good-for-nothing jerk they are. Your retribution is second to none. Your fantasies of revenge are violent. So why are you sobbing in the dark? Alone?

Sagittarius November 22 – December 21

You’re a good all-rounder, Sagittarius. You’ll take your share of the blame. And you are happy to move on to the next adventure and the next romance. You’ll even be friends with your ex and their new partner. But given half a chance, you’ll leap back into bed with your ex at the first opportunity. Deny it all you like, you know you made a connection and it will last forever. So many connections, so many opportunities.

Capricorn December 22 – January 19

You’ve got a collection of exes and never, truly let any of them go, do you Capricorn? In fact, you usually ping-pong back and fore between them throughout your life. After all, you know, without any doubt that you are the best they ever had. No wonder they want you back. Yet when you are involved with whichever one is currently in favor, you ignore the others. Until you need them again. You can hardly believe it when one of them, usually the one you like the best, stands up to your bullying… err, strong will, and refuses your advances. There’s obviously something very wrong with them.

Aquarius January 20 – February 18

If your ex ended your relationship, you’ll be telling everyone how relieved you are. And that you are so glad he’s found someone new because you only ever wanted the best for him. Yet, no-one knows how much you are churning on the inside. You want them to know what they lost when they lost you. You’d like them to writhe and suffer like the insignificant worm they are. You picture just how it will be when they come crawling, begging you to take them back. It’s what keeps you sane.

Pisces February 19 – March 20

You take those emotions, Pisces, and you turn them into something special: perhaps a song or a poem. Your sad, ex love will provide all the inspiration you need for at least a month. You don’t see your ex as bad or wrong, but as your sorrowful muse. However, if you do bump into them, and they suggest an intimate drink, and all that might follow, you’ll accept right away. How can you resist? Really, though, Pisces, you can’t keep doing this.
